• 1 cup chickpeas (or 1 can, rinsed and drained)
• 1 clove garlic
• 2.5 Tsp. Organika Veggie Broth powder
• ½ tsp sea salt
• Juice of half a lemon
• 2 Tbsp. tahini
• 2 Tbsp. olive oil
• 1 Tbsp. Organika Coconut Sauce
• 2-4 Tbsp. water (start with only 2 Tbsp.)

Instructions

1. Place all ingredients into a food processor or blender, starting with only 2 Tbsp. of the water
2. Begin to mix on medium high
3. Add the additional 2 Tbsp. of water if needed
4. Blend until you reach a smooth and creamy texture

Creamy Carrot Yam Soup 

Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 1 Tbsp. coconut oil
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1 clove garlic 
• 1 inch piece of ginger 
• ½ tsp cumin
• ½ tsp curry powder
• ½ tsp turmeric 
• ½ tsp sea salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
• 2.5 Tsp. Organika Veggie Broth powder
• 2 cups chopped carrots
• 2 cups chopped yams 
• 4 cups water (plus more for blending)

Instructions

1. Heat 1 tbsp of coconut oil in a large soup pan
2. Add the onion, garlic (minced), ginger (skin on, and minced)
3. Once the onions begin to lightly brown, add spices and veggie broth powder
4. Add 4 cups of water to the soup pan. Keep on high heat with the lid on until the liquid comes to a boil
5. Next add the chopped carrots and yams to the pot
6. Once the mixture comes to a steady boil, reduce heat to minimum and let simmer with the lid slightly ajar. Allow to simmer until the veggies are nice and tender (test by poking them with a fork). This should take a minimum of 20 minutes. 
7. Once the veggies are nice and tender, remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool enough to blend
8. Place the soup mixture in a blender and mix until it reaches a smooth and creamy consistency. You can do this in a couple batches. BE CAREFUL to ensure the soup is not too hot before you blend it!
9. Once the soup is fully blended to your liking, re-heat if needed and then scoop into serving bowls
10. Top with fresh herbs and a drizzle of coconut yogurt if you desire

Perfect Popcorn 

Ingredients

• 1 cup popcorn kernels
• 1 Tbsp. coconut oil
• 2.5 Tsp. Organika Veggie Broth powder
• 1 Tbsp. Nutritional yeast
• 1 tsp sea salt 
• 2 tsp sesame seeds 

Instructions

1. Heat the oil in a medium sized pan on the stove top, at low heat, until the oil just begins to melt
2. Just as the oil is fully melted, add your popcorn kernels and place the lid on the pot. Turn the burner to medium high heat
3. Consistently “shift” the pan on top of the stove top, ensuring none of the kernels burn on the bottom of the pan
4. As you hear kernels beginning to pop, continue to shake the pan from side to side, still keeping it on the stovetop element
5. Once the popping slows down, remove saucepan from the heat and allow the remaining popcorn kernels to pop, keeping the lid on the pan
6. Once the popping comes to an end, remove the lid of the pan and add the veggie broth powder, nutritional yeast, and sea salt
7. Place the popped popcorn in a large serving bowl and sprinkle with sesame seeds on top!
